When Terry discovers he's about to be a father, he does what any other sane person would do. He moves himself and his nine-months-pregnant wife from Iowa to Los Angeles to shoot a low-budget indie movie and sell it to a streamer. Documented by his cousin Devin's behind-the-scenes camera crew, Terry suddenly finds that his beliefs about diversity, the #MeToo movement, and what technically qualifies as a properly financed film production put him at odds with, well, every single person who meets him. Featuring a cast of comedy MVPs, Micro Budget follows Terry's disastrous attempts to make a disaster movie, and his inability to serve a decent lunch.

The cutoff's very simple when it comes to comedies: is it funny? And on that count, Micro Budget succeeds, going for cringe humor that's obviously inspired by The Office. ... A pretty hilarious takedown of current moviemaking.

3/5

This ode to industry-outlier fame whores is a street-level version of AppleTV’s hit The Studio. A feel-bad satire aimed at the industry’s low-tier exploiters and the boardrooms that enable them.

Micro Budget is packed with superstar improvisers, immortalizing the no-budget film set life through the eyes and ears of a team of the stupidest possible people. It's a deliriously perfect, laugh-a-second satire.

B-

"Micro Budget" certainly has its moments, though the endeavor could definitely cut a little deeper with its comedy and interest in the difficulty of moviemaking, especially when a complete idiot is calling the shots.

Micro-Budget is a hilarious look at the struggles of filmmaking and an interesting character study of those just crazy enough to try.
